5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic and absolutely required for dirty diaper management

October 8, 2016

This is an upgrade from the previous version which we liked, we had the previous Playtex Diaper Genie with our first kid and got 2 1/2 years out of it, it was kinda goofy as it folded in half to remove the bag which was clumsy being that your had a full bag and half a container to work with (when it was folded to remove) this totally redesigned version if much better designed.

If you are like me and not convinced you need a diaper can and are thinking of just making due with regular trash, i had this exact discussion with my wife before having out first kid, and she overruled me and ordered it. fast forward a few months and you could not imagine how many diapers these kids go through and the Diaper Genie is an absolute must unless you like you house reeking with the sweet stench of baby poop..

This works ok. I owned the older model and it was an Elite as well but an Oval shape not boxy like this one. I found the Oval one held three times as many diapers then this one and I think it's because of the way the bottom is set up in this one you actually lose a lot of space due to the way the front portion opens up. I used to get one big bag out of the Oval shape one and now I get 3 smaller bags out of this boxed shape one which is equivalent to one big bag in the oval ones. So I think this design is much worse than the other design.

I purchased the grey coloured Diaper Genie Elite Pail System on Amazon because I could not find it in any store. So far my experience has been pretty good. It keeps the smell in. When you first open the package you get a carbon filter. It is recommended to change it every month otherwise you will start smelling a faint odor. The diaper genie was pretty easy to put together, I didn't need the instruction manual. The foot pedal is awesome as you don't have to touch more things with your dirty poo covered hands. Overall I like it, however I would like the "tank" area to be larger. It always seems to be late at night (for me) when the Diaper Genie gets filled up and I need to take the bag of dirty diapers out. Also, the Diaper Genie bags aren't cheap, so look out for good deals. I'm not sure if off-brand bags will work in the Diaper Genie elite. I've been getting conflicting information from the internet. This is a good purchase for me, and I'm planning to also use it for my next baby. I would recommend others to buy this. Would make a good baby shower gift too.

We have been putting the most smelly diapers in individual plastic bags advertised to keep the smell in, but that was only working to a point.

Have switched to the Diaper Genie and are amazed how much better it works in terms of keeping the odor in and being much more convenient.

I am impressed with the the design: folding it open when switching bags, the integrated cutter, the endless bags and the internal set of doors that works in unison with the lid, the carbon filter. What else can you ask for?

Was worried we would not be able to operate the foot pedal with the pail sitting on our high-pile carpet, but the shape and size of the pedestal actually work in the products favor. Might not even add an additional base.

Rating this at four stars because a little smell will occasionally escape while opening the lid (spring on internal doors not strong enough?)

I bought this for use as an adult diaperpail, and it does the job just fine. The Depends fit in, there is no odour, and it fits nicely in my bathroom. I did away with the regular bathroom garbage can altogether. I also use it for cat litter, which I scoop into a shopping bag first.The delivery was very fast. I am pleased with Amazon, and the quality of their products.

Works great. Used it for the first 2 weeks but when i saw the price of refills i decided to store it and keep it for later. It s automn atm and honestly the diaperpail doesnt stink. Maybe because it s still a breastfed newborn. Ill probably take it out again when/if smelly poops comes along or temperature rises.

Excellent diaperpail, controls odor well. Downsides would be refill carbon cartridge in top (for odor control) haven't tried without it yet but I presume they're necessary. Easy to assemble. Have to empty about once very two days.

The best diaperpail system out there. I highly recommend it. And it got even better than the previous model because the door opens downwards and you don't have to lift the head of the pail to open it anymore.

This the the 3rd diaperpail we have tried and it's really unfortunate because pail has such great potential and we would love it if a hinged piece of it hadn't of easily snapped off less than a month after getting it.
